This panel will consider how stabilization clauses have developed in recent years and whether such clauses remain effective tools to protect investors from changes in a host State’s laws. The panel will discuss what makes stabilization clauses effective and whether statutory stabilization provisions (or other protections) can provide similar protection in the face of increasing legal and regulatory changes by host State.
